Old Lahn bridge with castle view

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful, old arch bridge over the Lahn, from which you have a great view of the castle and Runkel. Right next door there is an ice cream parlor, where you can eat a delicious ice cream.

Lahn Cycle Path Along the Lahn River

Highlight • Cycleway

Cycling here in the Lahn Valley when the weather is nice is always a great pleasure! The fact that there is no road in this section of the valley is an invaluable advantage!

March 24, 2026,Tour von Limburg nach Gießen!

Today I had thought, because the weather forecast for tomorrow didn't predict very good weather, that I would take one more little bike tour from Limburg an der Lahn to Gießen. Since I rode through the homeland of my cycling friend Jens, I tried to reach him. Jens was also on the move but had passed, so I just about …

I didn't really find the Lahn Valley Cycle Path beautiful until Löhnberg. But that's probably always in the eye of the beholder.

August 31, 2024,Von Gießen nach Limburg an der Lahn

So we continued on the Lahn cycle path:
Started this morning in Gießen. About half of today's route is not particularly impressive in terms of scenery. Wide river valley, more or less used for agriculture.
Then the valley becomes narrower and more picturesque. Weilburg, Runkel and Limburg are of course highlights that are impressive.
That's how it was

February 1, 2025,An der Lahn von Gießen bis Limburg

A long day of cycling is coming to an end. When I woke up at 7:57 a.m., the sky was particularly beautiful and clear and I felt that I had to tackle the Lahn cycle path. At 8:41 a.m. I was sitting in the regional train in Friedberg, exactly two hours later I got off an overcrowded train in Gießen …

We cycled along the Lahn on the 9th stage of our journey to Gießen. The highlight was Weilburg with its castle and park. There is also a tunnel for canoeists with hand-operated lock gates.
Unfortunately, the rest of the route was sometimes a bit ugly. A lot of it went along busy roads, and for many kilometers there was nothing …

July 24, 2024,Bikepacking Tag 2: Ab Gießen den Lahnradweg bis Limburg an der Lahn

From the accommodation in Pohlheim we went through Gießen to the Lahn cycle path.

We stopped at various (photo) stations along the way, such as Wetzlar, Solms, Weilburg, Runkel, as well as other photo points.

The Lahn cycle path is very pleasant to ride.

June 6, 2022,Die erste 100er🥳 - Lahnradtour von Gießen nach Limburg (plus auffüllen)

Getting up early today was worth it: we took the train to Giessen on a still empty train. I was actually still thinking about whether I could manage the whole distance (84 km) at all or whether we should get off in Wetzlar. After we had a very nice tour along the Lahn (mostly on the R7 and unfortunately only …

May 25, 2022,RDE 3 Limburg-Gießen

In the best weather, we drove today from Limburg via Weilburg, where we had a fantastic lunch ("home-style German cuisine" 😋) and Wetzlar (beautiful half-timbered town with an incredible amount of flair) to Gießen. I've drunk a lot of seltzer, but for the first time I stopped by where the water is produced. And still along the Lahn...
